Hi, I am currently in Los Arcos. Just wanted to send a quick post to say how much the many pieces of advice I have gleaned from this forum are helping me along the way. There have been so many useful tips that I can´t thak everyone but for sure I want to say thanks in particular for these things I learned:
-- my New Balance trail shoes are awesome (thanks AnnieS)
-- the vaseline on the feet and two pairs of socks is working so far...no blisters yet
-- staying at Orisson was worth every penny
-- went to pilgrims mass in Roncesvalles (and also Los Arcos) and found it meaningful even though I am not a believer of that faith
-- the most meanngful moments of the day are accompanied by birdsong (thanks Rebecca S)
--- take each moment of every day as it comes and accept that the camino will provide
and so muc more that I can´t remember now and it´s almost 10pm...time to get to bed!!
Muchas gracias a todos!

Hi Robert,

Great to see where you are. You are such an example of a person who has taken advice from other forum members and have benefited from it.. I know I owe you a PM and will do it soon.

Hi agnes. I owe you an email too but the "gremlins" have been at my computer and scrambled things. Trying to get it right before I email it to you. It is most probably more to do with my lack of knowledge than anything else.

Buen Camino Robert.
